This, for instance, is a very nice paper:

However, in the context of high-performance array programming explicit  
recursion is bad because it is very hard if not impossible to  
parallelise automatically except in fairly trivial cases. And if your  
array program is not parallelisable then you don't really care about  
performance all that much :-)
